    Candling eggs.. have you seen this before?

    I will try to add a picture to this forum later. But i've viewed videos on candling eggs and what to expect but haven't seen this yet. my lady laid 7 beautiful eggs yesterday morning. Candled them without lifting them out today. 6 look gorgeous. 1 has a yellow tint but seems to have redness / poss. veins just on the bottom? has anyone else encountered this before?

    Without a picture it's hard to tell you, do you actually see a healthy vein structure or just a tiny ring or spot of red?

    I ran home on my lunch break which left me about 10 minutes to look so I will be more thorough tonight and take some photos. I can imagine it would be hard to give opinions without seeing it. I think I may have seen a vein or two but I will follow up with pics

    In my experience hatching snake eggs, some eggs take longer before you see actual veins or before the redness shows up more.
    These eggs were just laid...check again in a week.

    Thank you for your input. They definitely were just laid seems as tho patience is key with snakes! Included a (fairly crappy) pic as a mentioned I would but going to leave the eggs be and listen to your suggestion to check again in a week Something seems to be going on in there!

    Congratulations on the eggs, btw...I've seen some eggs take a week or two before I really thought they were good, but even eggs that look great from the start
    can still go bad (you don't wanna hear that, I know). Good luck with the "precious cargo".

    Looks like a good vein structure to me, so the egg is good.

    Re: Candling eggs.. have you seen this before?

    Thank you much! I’m very excited it’s definitely such a learning process as I go! And I don’t mind hearing that - honest answers are exactly what I seek and that’s what you gave. It’s better for me to be mentally prepped for that than to have all the hopes in everything going perfectly. Hopefully I’ll get to share a successful bunch of hatchlings
